[QUOTE="john*thomas, post: 484056, member: 16937"] There are some very interesting groups on Facebook. Mostly for me the historical ones. People have pulled out their old family albums to contribute pics of the city where I live and the city I grew up. I enjoy seeing these pictures of the past. These people never would have made a website but it's easy for them to scan and add to the pics. It's also incredibly easy for my kids to take picks of the grandkids and have them posted in seconds. They don't have to individually send them out to everyone. I've been able to access some local old buildings that I never would have otherwise if it hadn't been through contacts I've made on the above pages. One of my favorite things to shoot is old abandoned buildings and I'm too old to break into them illegally. I posted a picture of my motorcycle and I had a photographer that saw it ask me if she might use it for a photoshoot. I said of course if I can come along also. It was fun. I take a lot of pictures of the high school band (my daughter is in it) and people really appreciate being able to see the pictures. I've found 5-6 photographers that I really enjoy their work that I follow. A couple are constantly posting pics. I love seeing every one. Yes, there is a lot of crap on there. People bickering and posting things I've never consider posting but you learn to skip right past it like markers along the highway. [/QUOTE]
